"The people who appear here are in line with the inferences that the girl said before, so let's take a good look at them."
"What?" Lou Lidong looked around, there were a lot of people gathered around, not many of the type according to Su Xiaopei's judgment, but how come there are five or six
"Tall, middle-aged, with some status and power, accustomed to issuing orders, knowledgeable and understanding, he must be in these crowds. You thieves can clearly see the walking posture and movement habits of people, even if you look at them. If you don’t have a face, you can always recognize the body shape and posture.” Ran Feize said quickly, his eyes had swept the crowd around him, he had a target of suspicion, but he still needed proof, he didn’t want to stare wrongly Su Xiaopei is in danger because of the target.
Lou Lidong understood what he meant, he put away his smiling face, touched his nose and left.
Xiao Qi heard their few words on the side, and when Lou Lidong was gone, he hurriedly came over to ask what was going on.
"Do me a favor, and ask your sect to help you keep an eye on the people who have appeared here. If they match the characteristics that Miss Su said, write them down."
Xiao Qi nodded: "I will check the suspicious characters reported by the various factions and see if there are any serious ones. I will instruct them to continue."
"You don't need too many people, don't startle the snake." Ran Feize was calm, "I'll take the girl away in a while, and you can see clearly how the people present react after she leaves."
Xiao Qi responded.
Ran Feize glanced around again, then turned and walked towards Su Xiaopei who was beside him. Su Xiaopei vomited so much acid water in his stomach that he burst into tears. Ran Feize squatted down and stroked her back. She sniffed, got up quickly, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Ran Feize pulled her a few steps away, away from the pile of dirt, wiped her tears, and then held her in his arms
"Don't hold me." Although she really needed a hug at the moment, she still earned it. "That person must be here." He arranged all this and waited to see her frightened. He must be in these crowds, observing her and admiring his masterpiece.
"Why not, you and I live in the same house, and we are in the same room. From the outsider's point of view, our relationship is extraordinary. Whether I hold you or not at the moment, it is natural for him to know the relationship between you and me." He Knowing what she was afraid of, she was afraid that he would be implicated. If the thief wanted to hurt others to make her suffer and defeat her, then hurting the person closest to her would be a good choice. So the closer he Ran Feize behaves with her, the more dangerous he is
"I hurt her." Su Xiaopei was really powerless to struggle, she really needed his embrace, she hugged his waist with her backhand, and buried her head in his embrace, buzzing. "She doesn't even know who I am, she doesn't know what happened, she's just like this... I hurt her." Her eyes hurt so much that she couldn't cry.
He hugged her tightly and stroked her back: "If you think like that, you're following his way. Don't blame you, Xiao Pei, don't blame yourself, he is a wicked person and will do evil things. Yes, with you or without you, he will do evil, you know that, right?"
She nodded in his arms, but she was still sad, the dead girl's eyes widened and the state of death in extreme panic still lingered in her mind. Without her, the man would still do evil, but the girl would not die. In order to break her spirit and destroy her will, he killed this innocent girl
"What did he tell you?" Ran Feize asked
"Declared war." Su Xiaopei raised his head from his arms, "He said the war has begun."
Ran Feize stroked the corner of her eyes, her nose was red and pitiful. "Cheer up, Xiao Pei, you won't lose."
Su Xiaopei took a deep breath, tried to cheer up, and nodded. At this moment, Du Chengming and his officials came over. Ran Feize saw it from a distance and glanced at the people over Qin Dezheng. Qin Dezheng was talking to Bai Yulang and Liu Xiang, as if he was asking something.
"Miss Su." Du Chengming approached and saluted.
Su Xiaopei rubbed his eyes and quickly returned the salute.
"Dare to ask girl, what words are left on this paper? What do they mean?" Du Chengming handed the blood-stained paper to Su Xiaopei.
"Sir." Before Su Xiaopei could answer, Ran Feize stopped him. He took Su Xiaopei into his arms and covered her head to one side so that she wouldn't see it. "My lord, Miss Su was greatly frightened. I have to take her home. When she calms down, my lord will ask her more questions. It's all blood, and she can't stand it."
Du Chengming looked at Su Xiaopei, thought about it, and finally nodded. He glanced at Ran Feize again, Ran Feize smiled apologetically at him, hugged Su Xiaopei and said softly to her, "Let's go, I'll take you home." He squeezed her hand tightly, Su Xiaopei knew that he had other intentions , did not struggle against it, followed him away
Du Chengming had a thoughtful look on his face, but he stayed still for a moment, then turned around and greeted the officials to search everywhere for witnesses. A crowd of onlookers surrounded the woods and asked around, but no one saw anyone committing the murder, and no one heard anyone calling for help.
Later, Ji Jiawen came over and invited Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei to their Xuanqing faction courtyard.
Xiao Qi explained what he saw today and the situation at the murder scene, and then said: "Gu Sect of the God-Fortune Sect also went, and he was quite attentive to Miss Su. After Miss Su left, his expression was a little subtle. He also left shortly after." He paused, "Speaking of which, Sect Leader Gu has been acting strangely recently. We inquired about it. He neglected to manage his own affairs. , and the words are much less. Furthermore, he and Su girl inferred quite a lot. His age and status are average, and he is not married. Most of the disciples of the gods are unmarried, and the status of the gods in the rivers and lakes , It is not surprising to say that the head of Gu has some ambitions. In the name of divination, they can deceive and restrain many people. There are indeed many people in the rivers and lakes who ask his family to solve the disaster. Even ordinary people, The wealthy businessmen of your family, etc., are also many believers of their gods, and it is reasonable and reasonable to offer incense rituals and obey their orders."
"It's just." Jiang Weiying said his doubts, "I don't know how he knew the text of the girl's hometown."
Ran Feize looked at Su Xiaopei, who shook his head: "Sect Master Gu is indeed quite similar to the character I deduced, but not him. Sect Master Gu should be a follower in this matter, and there is someone else behind the scenes."
"Why?"
"As Xiao Daxia said, the head of Gu wants something, but the mastermind behind the scenes wants nothing. When I say nothing, I mean that he doesn't want to get the results of power and money when doing these things. He just enjoys that sense of control, that other people take orders from him, that kind of pointing. It's pleasurable, that's all."
Jiang Weiying, Xiao Qi and others frowned. Su Xiaopei said: "This is like some people who want to kill people out of control. This is a disease in their hearts."
Everyone discussed with each other for a while, and ordered some people. Those people were not familiar with Su Xiaopei. They discussed it for a while and thought it was unlikely. Xiao Qi gave a copy of the names they wrote down to Ran Feize. Ran Feize looked at it and suddenly asked, "Didn't the head of the Cuishan faction go to the scene today?"
Xiao Qi shook his head: "I didn't go. He drank with Master Gu and others yesterday, saying that he was recovering from the cold at home when he came back in the morning. Master went to invite him to come over this morning to discuss the matter, and it was normal that he didn't go. ."
Ran Feize nodded. Jiang Weiying frowned: "Do you suspect the head of Cao? He will not be the mastermind behind the scenes. Although he is a bit irritable, he has a good heart. Besides, he has a wife and a concubine..." He said this a little strangely. I'm sorry, Cao Hedong is good in everything else, but he is a bit lecherous, with a group of wives and concubines. Now that Su Xiaopei is here, it is quite embarrassing to ask him to discuss this man's wife and concubine with a girl's family.
Ran Feize was unaffected, he nodded again: "Cao Sect's temperament, being the mastermind behind the scenes is indeed difficult for him." But he was also present at Linglongzhen, and the murderer who killed Jiuling Taoist has not yet been found. Besides, he said, He got quite close to Gu Kang from the divine calculation gate. Something happened last night, so they went to drink together by coincidence, and they had each other's alibi. There was a bloody case in the forest this afternoon. Gu Kang arrived, but he fell ill, or did he fall ill when he went back in the morning? What a coincidence.
Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei went back to the room, Su Xiaopei sat blankly at the table, in a very bad spirit. Ran Feize sat with her for a long time and asked her, "What are you thinking about
"There was no cry for help, it means that when the girl found out that someone was attacking, she was pinched by the neck before she could call for help. When she died, she looked panicked. slapped her neck. He was so cruel just to show me the horror on her face."
"He also cut off her hair, trying to make her short like mine, to let me know it was for me and foreshadowing my fate. He also stabbed her in the stomach with a branch..." .
"Xiaopei." Ran Feize's voice became severe, and Su Xiaopei turned to look at him.
"What did you promise me?" He was serious
Su Xiaopei pursed her lips, she knew she shouldn't think about this, but her mind couldn't help herself, she couldn't control it. "Strong man, I'm sad," she had to admit, "I can't concentrate, I'm sad."
"Come here." Ran Feize pulled her over and sat on his lap. He hugged her, "Don't you know the best? He did this because he wanted you to."
"I know."
"He wanted to scare you before, but he didn't scare you, and he won't succeed this time."
"Yeah." She answered weakly.
He patted her head, raised her head, and made her look in the direction of the back room. "Master Du was sitting in this position at that time, and he looked into the room from time to time. I only tried it and realized that in this position, those who can stick you to the wall can see clearly."
Su Xiaopei was stunned for a moment. She sat up straight and looked at the materials she posted on the wall. She wrote it in English and no one understood it, so no one was interested in reading it. Everyone just glanced around curiously.
"If you don't understand it, you don't have to keep reading it, right?"
Su Xiaopei turned his head blankly and looked at Ran Feize.
"When he's gone, you can leave the letter and have his followers post it for him. You say it was well done this morning, that means he knows what you said yesterday. I count the time, They arrived in Pingzhou City yesterday, and he rushed over quickly, and he would be there in more than an hour. He came to know about your movement, wrote a new letter, and then returned to Pingzhou City, pretending to discuss everything with Qin Caitou. , and then came together in the night, with the head of Qin to testify his whereabouts, plus he was not in Wuzhen at all when those letters were posted before, so no one would suspect him."
Su Xiaopei nodded, thinking of the scissor hand she drew. Everyone was playing with gestures without knowing what to do. Even Qin Chautou tried it, but Du Chengming didn't. He said she was quite funny. But not making that gesture really doesn't count as evidence, this suspicion is too thin.
"Everyone has seen the papers you put on the wall, but no one has looked at them seriously, because no one can understand." Ran Feize stroked her head, "You put it up very well, very good Then Mr. Du took the initiative to sit in this position, and even a little rude, he grabbed the seat in front of Qin Zhaotou. I didn't pay attention at the time, but later on the seat, he seemed to go there inadvertently by the small gesture of talking and drinking. Looking. Later I tried every position, and finally I understood what he was looking at. That's why I doubted him."
"They said they would go back to rest and make arrangements. He has time to go to the woods and wait for an opportunity." Su Xiaopei was refreshed.
"But how did he know that a girl would pass by? What if no girl passed by?"
"Maybe the girl's daily whereabouts are fixed, and he has already inquired about it. After writing the letter and thinking about how to arrange the corpse, this will not be a temporary intention, he has planned it long ago. Let me see and praise me in the morning" Well done letter, he wants me to see the terrifying corpse at noon and declare war on me, his rhythm is well controlled, everything is under his control, he must be very proud." Su Xiaopei said the more and more angry, She jumped down, paced back and forth, and walked for a while: "Strong man, you're right, it makes sense. His appearance and demeanor are indeed in line with criminal portraits. Check his background and he will definitely be able to. Rewarding."
Without waiting for Ran Feize to reply, she added: "And his whereabouts at noon today. It's easy to ask. Lord Qin and the others have been with him. If no one sees him at noon, then it is him."
Ran Feize shook his head, Su Xiaopei stopped and frowned: "What do you think is wrong?"
"I guess, Mr. Du must have proof of his alibi."
"yes?"
"The thieves gang saw that someone entered the divination room of the Shenshenmen and used the pen and ink inside. I think they probably read the words Gu Kang left about your inference, so he wrote a letter praising and molesting you. And at this time, Gu Kang was not at the God's Calculation Sect. He went to drink with Cao Sect Leader and others. For such a trivial matter, he had arranged the proof of his alibi, Gu Kang could leave the matter clean and leave his house at home. The thief, he happened to be absent, and they didn't even see each other. If anyone accuses anything, there is nowhere to talk about it."
"But if he has been with others, how can he kill someone?"
Ran Feize frowned, "Maybe he taught others to do it?"
"If he has been with others, how can he have time to ask others to start?"
Ran Feize didn't expect the answer, so he led Su Xiaopei to Zhenya. There are no serious officials in Wuzhen Zhenya. Most of the things in this town are martial arts disputes. No one reported to the officials to let them manage, and they dared not manage. Only this time a village girl died, and there was a Pingzhou City arresting head in charge of the town, and the Zhenya was busy.
When Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei arrived, Du Chengming was discussing with the officials of Zhenya, and Qin Dezheng was also with them. Only Bai Yulang was guarding outside. When he saw them, he said everything he knew, and answered whatever he asked.
"Is it noon today? After we came back, Mr. Du took us to have a meal together, drank some small wine, and had a good time. We talked about a lot of interesting stories about catching gangsters and catching murderers, and also talked about a lot of cases in Pingzhou City." Bai Yulang With a look of excitement, he obviously enjoyed the meal. "After chatting for a long time, someone came to report that the female corpse was found, and the adults led us there." Bai Yulang was very excited and told a lot of interesting things he heard at the table. Ran Feize asked if someone left the table. Whatever happened, he answered no, and he was sure
Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei looked at each other. Sure enough, there was an alibi, and it was ironclad. Not only do you have no time to do it yourself, but you really don't have time to ask others to do it.
So how did this happen
At this time, Du Chengming and others came out of the room and saw Su Xiaopei smiling slightly: "Miss Su is feeling better? It's just right, I still have some questions to ask the girl."
Su Xiaopei stared into his eyes and nodded: "Sir, don't rush to ask, I suddenly thought that the thief left a letter for me, and I haven't replied to him yet. Lord, please use the pen, ink and white paper."
Of course, Du Chengming didn't refuse, and the police brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Su Xiaopei drew a huge picture with a swipe of his pen, and then carried the picture arrogantly to the notice wall. A group of people followed her curiously and waited to watch the play. Su Xiaopei almost took the wrong path and was brought back by Ran Feize. There was no way. She was not familiar with the road from Zhenya to the notice wall. But the wrong way this time did not dampen her momentum. She was on fire, and she was very angry. When she arrived at the notice wall, she wanted to post the picture on her hand, but then she felt that the post was too low, so she asked Ran Feize to help her post it.
Finally Ran Feize posted it
Everyone looked around. "What is this?" "Looks like, the middle finger." "What does that mean?" "The middle finger? The girl's words are ugly, and so are the pictures." "You can understand it." "It is indeed a gesture of the middle finger, what does it mean? ?"
A group of ancient costumed Jianghu Han gathered around the notice wall and pointed their middle fingers. Su Xiaopei turned to look at Du Chengming, looked at his expression, and said, "My lord, this is to say hello to the person who left the letter. Don't worry, lord, we will definitely find him and seek justice for the girl who died tragically!"
"Is this a question?" The Jianghu Han gestured vigorously and collectively gave their middle fingers. Only Du Chengming didn't do it, neither did Su Xiaopei, she wouldn't do such a vulgar action, and she wouldn't allow Ran Feize to do it. She saw Du Chengming slap his face in a pile of middle finger gestures.
